I bet the pinto bean fudge recipe isn't half bad. I mean, there's one cup of pinto beans compared to two pounds of powdered sugar. That's bound to drown out the beans (which are pretty mild). But I confess. I'm too chicken to try it.
I may give the fundge a try. I would think most anything can taste okay with that amount of sugar! I will let you know when I do.
PS Tara, I finished The Friday Night Knitting Club last night...it was fabulous. It comes highly reccomended by me.
